Program: Electrical Technology

Overview

Electrical Technology

Long Beach City College prepares students for entry-level employment in numerous electrical and electrically related trades. Upon completion of the Electrical Technology program, the student will be able to install, maintain, and repair electrical equipment and systems in a safe and workman-like manner. Thanks to our local voters, a $22M Bond investment through Measure E has made it possible for Long Beach City College to build two new buildings at PCC campus in the Fall of 2018 and modernize our Electrical Technology facilities to provide a more robust education and training program for this high-demand industry.
